Green Grass: Easy target
http://jenndare.blogspot.com/2012/04/easy-target.html
Saturday, April 14, 2012. I just spent an inordinate amount of time listing stuff on eBay and Craigslist. Every time after we move or even just have a yard sale I wind up with some things that I don't want to bring back into the house but I can't just send on to Goodwill like the rest of my rejects. Sometimes I'm irrationally defensive of it, usually for nostalgic reasons, e.g., I can't believe none of the yard sale crowd couldn't see past the chips in this coffee mug my mom gave me in college! However, ...

Green Grass: Clairisms, part 3
http://jenndare.blogspot.com/2012/03/clairisms-part-3.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Clairisms, part 3. Things are gradually slowing down and one day soon I might again gather thoughts of my own to occupy this space, but today, Claire gets the floor again. Dear God, please help Evan sleep till he wakes up.". I'm going to obey right away soon.". Dear God, thank you for curtain rods and the bright moon.". Is the sky moving, Mom? I flushed very quietly.". You look like a child, Evan! Conversation at the gym:. Claire - What is that? Claire - It was lazy?

Green Grass: As good as I remembered
http://jenndare.blogspot.com/2012/04/as-good-as-i-remembered.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. As good as I remembered. I just finished rereading one of my all-time favorite books, " Fair and Tender Ladies. By Lee Smith. It's our book club's April selection - Sonya. However, "Fair and Tender Ladies" was every bit as good as I remembered, although I still think the cover needs a redesign. I fell in love with Ivy Rowe, and Smith's beautiful writing, all over again. There was some talk of inviting Smith to our book club - the manager of our wonderful local bookstore. Life seem...

Green Grass: End of the road
http://jenndare.blogspot.com/2012/05/end-of-road.html
Monday, May 14, 2012. End of the road. Life is different now. And I am different, in all kinds of ways that are real but could only sound cliche if I tried to spell them out in a paragraph or two. And thus, this is the end of Green Grass' run. I can't explain why I feel this need to have closure here and start a new blog with a blank slate, but I do and I am. From now on I'll be blogging at http:/ www.unpolishedpen.blogspot.com. I hope you'll join me! May 15, 2012 at 1:42 PM. Lauren G. said.

Green Grass: Play away
http://jenndare.blogspot.com/2012/03/play-away.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. If you know my dad. You probably know he's an amazing piano player and it's probably no surprise that his music was a constant backdrop of my childhood. Although he taught me the basics, he never forced lessons or practice on me or Amanda. Thursday morning I had a few free minutes so I decided to run into Sandhills Coalition. Lo and behold, a piano was there - with a $50 price tag. I was already sold, but in the interest of prudence I called Dad (who graciously came imme...
